Goals

The Group aims to undertake research in the field of learning disabilities that will inform the support of people with learning disabilities and also relevant policy and practice. We aim to do this through interdisciplinary and collaborative research and to ensure that the findings from the research are disseminated in a manner that can be used to bring about change.

We also aim to support students from  a variety of disciplines to undertake research in learning disabilities thereby helping to develop the relevant academic expertise for the future.

Through established local, national, and international partnerships we endeavour to promote best practice in learning disability based upon the findings from sound research and on the principles of justice and non-discrimination and the promotion of rights, independence, choice and inclusion.
